Deconstructing Scaling Laws: The Interplay of Optimization, Architecture, and Data
The article breaks down large‑scale neural‑network training into three error components—data, optimization, and architecture—derives a heterogeneous power inequality, and uses it to analyze optimal learning rates, batch sizes, model size, sparsity, and data scaling, linking the results to known laws such as Kaplan, Chinchilla, Step, Microsoft, and DeepSeek.
